2. Try the traditional Arabian Drinks

To get a refreshing respite from the scorching sun you can try on the tempting Arabian beverages like the Sobia, Karkade or the Jallab. These exotic drinks will also bring you closer to the Arabian culture.

3. Say no to Coffee

You might get tempted to hang out in a chic coffee house with your friends on a hot summer afternoon; however coffee or tea can actually cause dehydration and make you feel uncomfortable for many hours.

4. Eat Cautiously
